An Autobiography By Any Other Name!

An autobiography is actually a literary genre and is defined (by Google) as “an account of a person’s life written by that person.” However, I found some rather interesting alternative definitions in my copy of The Cynic’s Dictionary. Enjoy!

“An obituary in serial form with the last instalment missing.” (Quentin Crisp)

“Alibi-ography.” (Clare Boothe Luce)

“A book that suggests the only thing wrong with the author is . . . his memory.” (Franklin P. Jones)
